The Challenge

"Medical enclosures demand perfect aesthetics, strict dimensional accuracy for internal PCB mounts, and specialized surface finishes that can withstand harsh hospital cleaning chemicals."

Critical Requirements

  • Complex EMI Shielding: Precision folded seams to prevent electromagnetic interference for sensitive diagnostic components.
  • Zero Sharp Edges: Medical devices require thoroughly deburred and radiused edges to prevent injury to operating room staff.
  • Biocompatible Finish: A perfectly smooth, antimicrobial powder coating that tolerates frequent wipedowns with bleach and alcohol.

Our Execution

We utilized our dedicated sheet metal line, implementing customized press brake tooling and a meticulous finishing protocol.

1

Fiber Laser Cutting & Punching

Panels were cut using high-speed fiber lasers for perfectly clean edges, followed by CNC punching for precise ventilation louvers that prevent liquid ingress.

2

Precision Bending & Welding

We used multi-axis CNC press brakes to execute tight interlocking bends. Corners were seamlessly TIG welded and ground completely flush by expert technicians prior to coating, creating the illusion of a solid continuous shell.

3

Medical Powder Coating & Silkscreen

After chemical conversion coating for adhesion, the enclosures received a highly durable, antimicrobial white powder coat, followed by precision silkscreening for clear operator instructions and branding.

Technical Highlights

  • Laser Cutting (Fiber)
  • CNC Press Brake Bending
  • TIG Corner Welding
  • Antimicrobial Coating
